Painter Paul Resika's brush translates the dramatic colors of boats, sea and sky into a nearly abstract composition. The artist's lifelong interest in color was established early on in studies with Hans Hofmann (see Hofmann's "Ruby Gold," 60.37). Two years in the watery environs of Venice, and residency since the 1960s on Cape Cod, have given Resika the imagery with which to express his profound connection with the beauty of the natural world.
